After barely beating Al Jazira in the semi-final of the Club World Cup, thanks to a goal from Gareth Bale, many quarters of the Madrid fanbase want the club to sign a striker to fight with Karim Benzema for a starting spot.The Frenchman has been in terrible goalscoring form, scoring just 5 times in all competitions this season. His backup, Borja Mayoral, has scored only 1 less despite playing less than even half of the Frenchman.Despite that, Zinedine Zidane claimed that he is not looking for a striker in January as he trusts his compatriot. Indeed, if reports from Marca are to be believed, then the legendary Frenchman is said to have convinced Florentino Perez to not sign anyone in the winter.Obviously, the fans were upset about it--and they showed it on Twitter...MARCA:Zidane's unwavering faith in Benzema?? Other club officials felt the addition of a striker in winter, such as Icardi, would be a wise move, but Zidane in his meetings with Florentino and Jose Angel Sanchez, insisted that he doesn't want a new forward in January. pic.twitter.com/IliPqiv4gy— RMadrid Edition (@RMadridEdition) December 14, 2017???? Benzema definitely has Zidane’s family at gun point somewhere.. just buy a striker!! We need a replacement at least for rainy days— Alexander ZEUS Ruyi (@AlexanderRuyi) December 15, 2017I'm sorry but Zidane is gradually becoming a kwasia. Stick with misfiring Benzema as the main striker for the entire season when other clinical strikers have expressed interest in joining? Fvk Perez should just sign a striker. https://t.co/OWl7E1N1YL— Gandalf (@JackToronto_) December 14, 2017Benzema has a disk on Zidane's wife & Perez daughter #BenzemaOut #PerezOut pic.twitter.com/ALHPBeGLc9— ? ????? ? (@TheLawyerAli) December 13, 2017It was one of the reasons Ancelotti was sacked. He started casillas over Keylor for a whole season even though casillas didn't reach a top level at any point that season. Zidane is doing the same with benzema.— Tiago (@TiagoRM94) December 14, 2017I wish i could find someone who backs me up the way Zidane backs Benzema.— Marwan (@MarwanAbouOuf) December 14, 2017Forgive my words but Zidane is stupid. How can you defend Shitty Benzema and reject the arrival of a new striker?— KÖßߥ LAÑÑISTER (@Pope_alorgy) December 14, 2017Zidane is making a big mistake and put his job at risk for Benzema who has lost confidence— Frank S.Delong (@FrankDelong) December 14, 2017I hope Zidane's obsession with Benzema does not cost him his job. A few winter signings seem absolutely must if we aim to retain the Champions League for a third time. Simply put, Benzema seems finished. Although he has done a lot for Madrid, it's time to replace him soon.— La Duodecima (@abhisheksc1987) December 14, 2017I need to discover what Benzema's Juju man feed Zidane?...https://t.co/KYJwTdxhmg— Devon... (@StST4N) December 14, 2017Man I’ve defended Zidane for the last year but he has to realize that benzema’s scoring has been a problem for the last two seasons https://t.co/E68UZSOOaF— Madridista Haven¹² (@MadridistaHaven) December 14, 2017It seems as though none of the fans are happy about Zidane's insistence on keeping faith Karim Benzema and opting out of signing a striker in January. Only goodness knows how true these rumours are, but the resulting responses show how much the fans crave for a striker.
